Wright, a freshman, posted a score of 141.55 in 1-meter diving to become the school's first state champion in an aquatics event.

Sophomore Amber Wingate played an important role in the Lady Patriots' finish, collecting second place in the 100 breaststroke and swimming the first leg of the 200 medley relay, which took third. Juniors Michelle Ratliff and Bethany Walker, along with freshman Whitney Walker, completed the medley relay.

Bethany Walker and Whitney Walker also teamed with juniors Bailee Weaver and Rachel Davis to capture second place in the 400 medley relay.
